AJAX presention on October 29?

[MatthewMetzger]

Hello all,

Doreen and I were wondering if there would be any interest in a
presentation on AJAX the evening of Thursday, October 29th?

AJAX is a clever acronym for something to do with javascript and the
web.

Please respond so we can know whether or not to schedule the
presentation. Thanks!

I don't think I have anything pressing next week that doesn't involve
carving pumpkins. Wed. after 7 would work, b/c I typically work until
later anyway.

Just to expand on what Matthew said, AJAX allows a webpage to interact
with the server and manipulate what's displayed on the webpage without
actually having to refresh/reload the web page. When you click the
"More" button in Twitter, for instance, that's using AJAX to retrieve
the next-oldest set of tweets. The "old school" way would have to
load increasing amounts of content every time the "More" button was
clicked. But AJAX allows more "just in time" content delivery.

It's slick stuff, but (of course) not without its pitfalls. I planned
to talk about those as well as walk through a relatively simple
application of it.

Thanks,

Doreen

Hello all,

I'm looking forward to learning more about AJAX. I know the concepts,
but it'd be great to see a simple demonstration and a knowledgeable
overview.

Next Wednesday works for the OrangeWorks location (I believe). Every
other Wednesday, a small group meets here for a Linux certification
study group. That was this week, so next Wednesday is open.

I'll get a OrangeWorks calendar of events up soon.

Good thing I started the presentation last night, hey? ;-)

Presentation slides uploaded to site. Just found a formatting problem
in the example HTML, so remind me to point that out tomorrow so that I
don't send you all astray.

Cheers,

Doreen
